Salmon Bagels

55shares
  • Share

Salmon Bagels are our favorite way to use up leftover salmon, and are a delicious weeknight meal! This quick and easy dinner comes together in 20 minutes, just toast your bagels and load on the toppings…cream cheese, avocado, tomato, onion, cucumber, egg, capers, and lemon wedges!

Salmon Bagels with Avocado

Pandemic Baking & Leftover Salmon

The stay-at-home order has really shaken up our lives. I guess we’ve decided that the 2 day process of making homemade bagels from scratch is, in fact, easier than the 2 day process of another grocery pickup order. Whenever we have leftover salmon, I like to stretch it into another dinner, and salmon bagels are my favorite way. Roasting fresh salmon (400° convection bake about 10 to 15 minutes) or using smoked salmon both work great too. My 6 year old not only helped make the bagels, but surprisingly loved the dinner too. The 4 year old, not so much.

Salmon Bagels with Capers and Hard Boiled Eggs

Instructions

When you already have leftover salmon, Salmon Bagels really couldn’t be an easier dinner! The only real cooking required is hard boiling the eggs.

  • For Perfectly Hard Boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a pot covering them with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Right when they reach a boil, turn off the heat and cover. Let them sit in the hot water for 15 minutes, set a timer. Run under cold water, crack and peel.

The colorful ingredients really make a beautiful platter! Toast your bagels, spread with cream cheese, and pile on the toppings. Start with breaking up the salmon and add sliced tomato, red onion, avocado, cucumber, capers, and hard boiled eggs. Kalamata olives would work too. You can also add some lettuce or spinach to your platter for a little extra color and nutrition. Lemon wedges are the perfect garnish and the last layer of flavor!

🌻Get the Homemade Pizza Recipe in the profile.  The recipe makes enough dough for 2 pizza nights for our family of 4 (freeze the extra), but lately I have been doubling that.  So I make the dough recipe, and then make it again in the same bowl.  It takes maybe 15 minutes longer but then I have enough for 4 weeks of pizza nights to put in the freezer.  Only one clean up, way less overall time!  It makes pizza from scratch much more doable.

🌻 Leftover Easter Ham?? That's a very handy ing 🌻 Leftover Easter Ham?? That's a very handy ingredient!  This recipe is officially called Bacon Cauliflower Mac & Cheese, but Ham and Broccoli is a perfect substitution!  Adding a veggie and a protein turns Mac & Cheese into more of a meal. 

In the original recipe, I use the rendered bacon fat to mix with the flour to form the roux which thickens the milk into a sauce.  Since I don't have that here with the ham, just add 3 T of butter to saute the ham and broccoli (fresh or frozen is fine). I also subbed medium shells, any short pasta shape will work.  Perfect easy dinner with a big green salad, BOTH kids liked it too, even the picky one🙌
